Details from death registration (GRO register entry)
The informant was Charlotte Goatham, who made her mark, was present at the death and resident Bredgar (presumably Elizabeth's mother)
Elizabeth was described as the 'Daughter of William Goatham Labourer'.
For some reason the death was not registered until 1 Feb, almost 7 weeks after her death.
From a very quick bit of research I can see that a newspaper of 19 Dec 1846 had reports of heavy snow in various parts of the England; said to be expecially in the north, but Cornwall was described as almost impassable, and Lincolnshire was also affected, so it seems likely East Kent was too. I have yet to find out much about January 1847, except that on 29 Jan a newspaper report from Manchester mentions mild weather, following the 'snow which had fallen last week'.

"William Goatham Bacheler and Charlotte Evans Spinster [sic] ..."
Married 15 May 1841 St. John the Baptist Church, Bredgar, Kent, England - GRO ref: GOATHAM, William to EVANS, Charlotte q2 1841 Milton RD 5 441
Details from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Jun 2019)
Charlotte was shown as a widow when she married William, with her father named as 'Robert Barrel', though 'Barrel' seems to be a mistake for 'Barrow'. Her maiden name is variously shown as Barrow or Evans on the birth certificates of her children (information from the GRO online index, viewed 5 Nov 2016).
The censuses show Charlotte was born about 1817 in Faversham and there is a Charlotte Barrow who fits this perfectly. In addition, in the 1841 census Charlotte Barrow's mother is living in Bredgar very close to William and Charlotte (just a couple of entries apart on the census), with an Aylett family. It seems that Charlotte's sister Ann had married one John Aylett in 1834, and Ann's mother was with them. I think it probable that after Charlotte was widowed by the death of her 'Evans' husband she went to live with or at least visited her mother and sister in Bredgar, and thus got to know neighbour William Goatham.
William was still shown as married not a widower in the 1871 census, but Charlotte was not with him and their 3 youngest. She was living in her birthplace Faversham when she died; whether she had left him and was there in 1871 I don't know.
